Rift: Macros and Slash Commands UPDATED

While looking for Rift wikis and other resources, I stumbled across these listings of macros and slash commands for the game.

UPDATE:  H pointed out this good basic guide to macros, which folks who haven't used them before will find helpful.   There's a link to another list of slash commands in the article.  Thanks for the tip, H.

UPDATE #2:  Through Sir Robin I discovered another good explanation of slash commands and building macros from them.   Commands are grouped as to whether you use them in combat, to control a pet, etc.

UPDATE #3:  Extensive list of slash commands which are called "macros" by the author.

To quote Sir Robin, "Basically keybinding lets you bind one ability to one button. With Macros you can bind multiple abilities to one button."
